Evaluation and reflection of project and it's results

Comparing my original idea (The sketch in just pencil) to my finished poster (The picture with more colour), I am proud to say that I like the overall outcome of it. However, in the poster I didn't add the hair, feline ears or the nose because it would have left less mystery to the picture. Where as now you don't know why he/she in the picture has feline like pupils. I aimed the character to be female and based it off Hanekawa Tsubasa (Or the Sawari Neko).

In both images, I see flaws and things that I could have done better. For example, in the pencil sketched image I could have put more detail into the blood spilling down and I could have added a background. In the final poster, I could have blended the image into the background more to make it fade in at some parts such as the edges; I also could have been more careful with the shading on the lamp posts, the blood and the skin where it has two tones. One lighter and the other darker.

The audience I aimed my poster at is towards those who are the ages of 18 years and onwards. This is due to the gore and possible skin showing (Nothing sexual just body shots that might show off assets and such).

My reflection on my poster would be that I could have done more to make it look more professional. I also could have added more detail to the lamp posts and the shading to give it more effect. With regards to my original poster idea, I would have made a background to the image and also would have drawn it better given that I had a better idea of what genre I wanted to put my poster in. At the time I wanted it to be a Horror/romance/mystery looking poster but now it looks more like a horro/mystery.

The images below are the ones I used for my poster. I will label at the top of the picture if it was a drawing reference to help me sketch or design something in the poster.

Secrets Within summary

A young Female (at the age of 17) that has been through quite a bit of stress and hardship in her life now realises her “potential” and intends to make use of it. It all starts off with her past catching up to her because the walls she built to forget about it were rapidly crumbling. When remembering those horrid memories, she starts to break down bit by bit; this causes her to feel shut off, cold and completely alone. She then starts to have “Nightmares” where she isn’t quite herself. Her appearance is completely different. This seems to comfort her slightly because she see’s it as a way to get rid of her stress and anger. But in her dreams. This is when things start to get strange for her; the young Female starts to see people in her every day life that are in her dreams. Realising that the violent and blood filled dreams weren’t actually dreams, the THING inside of her awakens.
